controlled chaos – or is it?

Dance Recital 2017 – Toys! Toys! Toys!

After our t-ball tournament the weekend before, Jules dusted off her tennis shoes to put on her dancing shoes! We pampered her all morning with hair and makeup – I barely recognized her without her curls!

Big sis was playing momma herself…and had to put on makeup as well to watch from the audience this year! She ran to the dressing room with me after Jules’ performance to help change her to the next costume – she was a big help!

Since only Jules danced this year, it was a lot easier on Mom! I only had one ballerina to dress, so I was able to enjoy a lot more of the show!

It was a super cute performance where the toys we know and love came to life! There were army men, jumps ropes, legos, kites and porcelain dolls just to name a few! Jules’ first performance was BUBBLES. At first, she did not see me and kept looking and looking….but when she found me, she could not stop smiling!

Next we put on her tap shoes for her performance in HULA HOOP! My favorite part of that entire day was watching Jules swing her hips like she was pretending to hula-hoop. That girl gave it her all in that one move. We could not help but smile at her determination in that step!

Congrats to Jules on her 3rd dance recital! We love to watch her shine!
